Thus they would explain away the significance of the popular belief that our Lord wrought signs and wonders. But in so doing they set themselves a worse problem than they evade. If miracles were so very common, it would be as easy to believe that Jesus wrought them as that He worked at His father's bench, but also it would be as inconclusive.  And how then are we to explain the astonishment which all the evangelists so constantly record? On any conceivable theory, these writers shared the beliefs of that age, and so did the readers who accepted their assurance that all were amazed, and that His report "went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee." These are emphatic words, and both the author and his readers must have considered a miracle to be more surprising than modern critics believe they did. Yet we do not read of any one was converted by this miracle. All were amazed, but wonder is not self-surrender. They were content to let their excitement die out -- as every violent emotion must -- without any change of life, any permanent devotion to the new Teacher and His doctrine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is work unless you'd rather be doing something else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66143]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is work unless you'd rather be doing something else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are, I should say, four elements in a redemptive community.

It is personal, with things happening between people as well as to and in them individually; it is compassionate, always eager to help, observant but non judgmental toward others, breathing out hope and concern; it is creative, with imagination about each one in the group and its work as a whole, watching for authentic new vision coming from any of them; and it is expectant, always seeking to offer to God open and believing hearts and minds through which He can work out His will, either in the sometimes startling miracles He gives or in steady purpose through long stretches where there is no special "opening". It may fairly be said that unless one enmeshes himself in this "redemptive fellowship" of the church, he lessens his chances of steady growth and effectiveness, in his Christian life and experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2182]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The claim that Religious believers have a happier outlook on life than Religious skeptics is like saying a drunken man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32970]]></link><description><![CDATA[The claim that Religious believers have a happier outlook on life than Religious skeptics is like saying a drunken man is happier than a sober man.
